Graphics Editors
This page lists graphics editors which were used to
create some of the images in the RasMol Gallery from the GIF
files saved by RasMol. If you wish to recommend others for mention
here, contact emartz@microbio.umass.edu.
LviewPro for Windows
LviewPro from MMedia by Leonardo Haddad Loureiro was formerly
shareware but now requires a small license fee (well worth it!).
It is especially useful for resizing,
cropping, and annotating images with text, as well as for combining images and
changing colors in images.
To save a RasMol or Chime image to a GIF file: in Windows,
Alt-PrtSc to copy the entire screen to the clipboard. (PrtSc is a
little-use key on your keyboard.) Then Edit, Paste in Lview. Define
the rectangle to be saved with a click and drag mouse operation. Now
pull down the File menu and select Crop. Finally, File, Save As (select
GIF or another format preference, such as JPG).
